Here, using cryogenic electron microscopy and tomography combined with computational image ...Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes severe respiratory illness in children and the elderly. Here, using cryogenic electron microscopy and tomography combined with computational image analysis and three-dimensional reconstruction, we show that there is extensive helical ordering of the envelope-associated proteins and glycoproteins of RSV filamentous virions. We calculated a 16 Å resolution sub-tomogram average of the matrix protein (M) layer that forms an endoskeleton below the viral envelope. These data define a helical lattice of M-dimers, showing how M is oriented relative to the viral envelope. Glycoproteins that stud the viral envelope were also found to be helically ordered, a property that was coordinated by the M-layer. Furthermore, envelope glycoproteins clustered in pairs, a feature that may have implications for the conformation of fusion (F) glycoprotein epitopes that are the principal target for vaccine and monoclonal antibody development. We also report the presence, in authentic virus infections, of N-RNA rings packaged within RSV virions. These data provide molecular insight into the organisation of the virion and the mechanism of its assembly. | ||||||||||||||||||

Dose-symmetric tilt-series collection was performed using SerialEM. Energy-filtered images were collected with a slit-width of 20eV and an applied defocus of between -2 and -4.5 microns. One second exposures were recorded with an electron exposure of 2 electrons/A2, partitioned over five movie frames. A total of 41 images were recorded per tilt-series at 3 degree intervals from -60 to +60, thus a total exposure of 82 electrons/A2 was applied per tilt-series. Tilt-series were recorded at a nominal column magnification of 81k corresponding to a calibrated pixel size of 1.79 A at the specimen scale. |

Image processing
| Details | Individual movies were corrected for drift and beam induced motion using MotionCor2. Motion corrected images were then compiled into an angle ordered stack file using a perl script to extract the correct files and tilt angles from the SerialEM metadata files (mdoc), creating the final tilt-series using the IMOD command new-stack. Tilt-series alignment and reconstruction by weighted back projection was then accomplished using the IMOD package |
